Love the Knickerbocker
As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Knickerbocker on the Lake. I love being able to walk to Juneau Park safely to enjoy the out of doors. When visiting in the summer, I always take advantage of the Juneau Park Beer Garden. This visit was the first time I ate at the Knick, the on-site restaurant. I had the best grilled shrimp mango salad.

For the Knickerbocker being an "older" hotel, we thought the room was very nice, clean and quiet. We will consider staying here again when we venture to Milwaukee in the future. Top notch.

Pretty good, other than there was a bunch of spiders and webs by the back door in the parking lot. And some of the channels in the tv was out of contract so that was kinda an inconvenience.

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. At the time of our stay, it was the most affordable in the area. However, the parking situation is not great. There is very limited on site parking available. You are expected to find street parking. We got lucky, but I can see this being very difficult.

Love It!
The hotel originally opened in 1929, and it’s a jewel! If you’re into super modern architecture and all the trimmings, this is not your place. But if you like history and reminiscing about yesterday, this is the best! Room was clean and comfortable! Service was top notch and location is great! I would definitely stay again.
